Hi all this is my very first post here on R2R...I'm a total noobie to saltwater but have kept freshwater for over 20 years. After lots of reading I feel like I'm totally lost about the filtration. Which is kind of embarrassing since I already have some fish keeping experience. I guess that's okay because I love to learn new things.
Well I'm planning on setting up a 29 gallon tank without a sump...only fish for now then would like keep some easy coral likes softies. My confusion is about the type of filtration I need. Some say use an HOB like Aquaclear 50 or 70, others say you dont need a HOB filter you should instead get a HOB protein skimmer and that's it, then others say you need both, some say that protein skimmer affect the corals, then finally some say you don't need anything complicated just water changes.
Soooooo can someone please help me ?
